The Philosophy of Lunch Box Packing

October 4, 2011

“Here’s the real news: Lunch-packing isn’t about food groups and how much of which items the kids eat. Lunch-packing is about providing OPPORTUNITY.” -Brianne DeRosa I’ve decided lately that I have a small talent for curating information, ideas, and people, and bringing them together here via my EasyLunchbox Blog. I share other peoples’ words of wisdom [...]

Dream Big. Don’t Live in Smallness

May 21, 2011

During our recent first date (lol, what do you call it when new girlfriends get together for the first time?) my new friend, Susan Kay Wyatt, and I discussed our dreams and ambitions.

“The Best Mom” is not a Title I Earn Every day

May 14, 2011

I’m either biting my tongue or feeling bad that I blurted something out at one of my daughters. More often than I’d like. My girls always say, “Oh, you’re the best mom”.  But I know better: not always. I recently read a post by another mom, a terrific writer who fills her numerous blogs with all [...]

April 22, 2011

Really? It’s not? Who doesn’t want to be richer, thinner, and clutter-free? I know I do. But is that realistic? Will I ever achieve “perfection” and, more importantly, if I got there, would I be happy?? Uh, I’m kinda doubting it at this point. In fact, I actually find myself happier letting some things “slide” [...]

My Song is a Song for Isabella

April 15, 2011

I have a bit of a split personality: there’s the singer/actress, and then there’s the mom/Lunchbox Lady. I’m no Sybil, but honestly, I love when I can find a way to bring all these people together. So I bring my kids to the set when I make videos where I sing about lunchboxes, and then [...]
